Sigma Gamma Tau is the honor society in aerospace engineering. Membership is limited to the top 20% of sophomores, top 25% of juniors, and top 33% of seniors, as measured by GPA; graduate students are also given the opportunity to initiate. All members have demonstrated excellence in coursework, leadership, community outreach, and mentorship. Corporate events, lab tours and seminars, social gatherings, and IM sports are some of the many programs SGT offers. In addition to professional and academic development opportunities, SGT members are also actively engaged at the university and in the community. Members regularly conduct tutoring and review sessions, and volunteering events occur frequently throughout the term. The following resumes represent a wide breadth of achievement and experience. Members include project team leaders, researchers, volunteers, and leaders in the aerospace department and the university. This copy of the resume book encompasses all members seeking full-time employment. Thank you again for your consideration of SGT! If you have any questions about our organization, or would like to coordinate a corporate event in the future, I would be happy to assist; my email is [email protected].

  • Gordon Woodcock Space Architecture Award 2020 Candidate: a Scott Howe
    Gordon Woodcock Space Architecture Award 2020 Candidate: A Scott Howe To the AIAA Space Architecture Technical Committee, thank you very much for nominating me for this award. I feel humbled, and I’m sure there are many worthy candidates. I feel as though I have been busy in some distant corner of the field, but I am very pleased that Space Architecture has grown to what it is today. The following are my statements and comments as requested – please let me know if further information is needed. 1. Statement confirming you’ve been involved in the field for at least 10 years: I was at the impressionable age of 9 years old when Neil and Buzz walked on the moon and was interested in space ever since. However, the idea of working for NASA seemed way beyond my reach, and didn’t seem compatible with my desire to become an architect so I went straight into architecture. I worked in terrestrial architecture since 1978. A turning point came when I began working in Japan in 1988, and got involved with the folks doing robotic construction. I began considering the issue of large-scale construction using entirely autonomous, mechanized means, and in the late 1990’s was introduced to early AIAA Design Engineering Space Architecture WG efforts by Marc Cohen and Ted Hall. I submitted my first Space Architecture paper, discussing a robotic outpost construction system in 2000 and increased my involvement in AIAA after that. I became a full-time Space Architect in 2007 when I joined the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and have been working on robotic construction for planetary surfaces, the design of outposts and habitats, and pressurized vehicles ever since that time.
